  • Ethnobotanical Survey of Medicinal Plants Used for Treatment of Malaria by Kipsigis People in Kericho County, Kenya
    IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) e-ISSN:2278-3008, p-ISSN:2319-7676. Volume 13, Issue 4 Ver. VI (Jul – Aug 2018), PP 24-30 www.iosrjournals.org Ethnobotanical Survey Of Medicinal Plants Used For Treatment Of Malaria By Kipsigis People In Kericho County, Kenya. Bwogo ChepchumbaPacifica,Dr. Benson Nyanchongi, Dr. Rael Masai Kisii University, Corresponding Author: Bwogochepchumba Pacifica Abstract: Background: Ethnobotanical pharmacopoeia is importantly used in intervention of disease and need arises for documentation and preservation of tradition medicinal knowledge to boost the discovery of new drugs. Due to the emergence of drug resistance to malaria, there is a high possibility of development of resistance to ACT (that is the first line of treatment), thus a need for identification and development of new and novel therapeutic approaches. Herbs offer an opportunity for discovery and development of new chemically diverse antimalarial agents, however little documentation has been done. The first objective of the present study was to identify and document preferred medicinal plants used for treatment of malaria in Kericho East Sub- County. Methods: Field research was conducted in six Sub- Counties of Kericho County in Kenya namely Kipkelion East, Kipkelion West, Kericho West, Kericho East, Sigowet/Soin and Bureti. We randomly sampled 120 interviewees according to age, gender, occupation and level of education. Plant use data was collected through semi-structured questionnaires; transect walks, oral interviews and focus groups discussions. Voucher specimens of all cited botanic species were collected and deposited at National museum herbarium, Nairobi Botany department. Results Twenty medicinal plant species were yielded from the informants which are used to treat different symptoms and signs of malaria including; headache, fever, diarrhea, stomach-ache.
